The BC Supreme Court awarded 20 months of pay in lieu of notice to the wrongfully dismissed plaintiff in Cadrin v Dunsmuir Holdings (New Westminster) Ltd., 2023 BCSC 130. Relevant factors included:
- Plaintiff’s age: 58
- Length of service: 35 years
- Job: Liquor store manager
- Notice period: 20 months
The plaintiff’s duties were described by the Court as follows:
“She started as a clerk, and was promoted to the position of manager in 1990 or 1991 by Mr. Dhaliwal. Her duties as manager included selecting new products, placing orders, receiving shipments, and handling transactions…the plaintiff’s role did involve a low level of managerial duties. The evidence shows she was in charge when Mr. Dhaliwal was away from the premises, and she was involved in training sales clerks. She also met sales representatives, selected new products for the store, placed and received liquor orders and determined how best to display products.”
